Carver Owners Forum

Goodmorning Carver people. My name is Jim (326Carver2000) and I am looking to have the original tops all replaced in the Toronto area. Carver has the pieces in their Owners parts manual, but no measurements are given. I have been a Carver owner since when I bought my 326 in 2010. Nice to be here, and if anyone has anything that will help, please send a note.

Your only real option is the find a canvas specialist in your area who will make custom canvas for you. This is how it is done for almost all boats regardless of brand. Welcome the forum.

Welcome aboard!

What midnightsun says. Custom canvas is really your only option. Even if you had all of the dimensions, any canvas guy worth his salt will still take his own measurements.

Welcome Aboard. Custom is probably the only way to go these days.

Welcome aboard Jim. As the guys have mentioned, you'll need to have it custom made. They'll come out and pattern it then fabricate at their facility. Now is your opportunity to consider any changes you want or additions that would better suit your needs. It's also the best time to start the ball rolling as it's their slowest time, once the season starts, most canvas shops are so busy you'll be waiting for months. So far the boat show is a go for January and while it's a good source for finding this service, I don't know that you want to wait that long. If you're serious about it (it's pricey), I'd contact someone now and see if they can start, there's still time to complete it before the weather gets bad.
